Hawaii trip pics

[SP Aquatics]

Well first off i would like to thank our wonderful airport security for scrutinizing me over 35mm film... Without them I wouldnt be able to show you these terrible pics to follow.

The trip itself was great, went to oahu first, did some diving off east and west oahu. We stayed right in the middle of Waikiki. Corals where we dove were pretty nonexistent, very sad, but marine life wasnt bad. This was my first time diving, did well, proved the women use less air thing wrong too.

Wait i thought we went to hawaii?

Then we made a stop by waikiki aquarium to visit our old pal Rick (Klobe) on here. Got a great behind the scenes tour. They had some of the nicest displays ive ever seen. What was even better is they use no high tec equipment hardly at all. Better yet, all their displays are acrylic!

Can we say 500lb clam

New hybrid angel discovered

Lowest light coral discovered, needs less than 1 par of light to survive

Then we hoped a plane and headed to big island and stayed in Kona, this island i enjoyed much more than oahu, less touristy, less crowded and the diving/snorkeling was great.

Old Volcano

Where lava flowed into the ocean several years ago

Not a volcano.

The lovely beaches of big island

To give you an idea of how bad the film was damaged

Then we finally made our last stop at Hilton Waikoloa for a couple days of just doing nothing, it was great, millions of dollars of ancient art, and you have to take a train or boat to your hotel room from the entrance its so big.
